During the following days San and I started talking more and I felt like we were slowly bonding. The boys were still confused about our change in behavior and kept being a little unfriendly to me, since they thought it looked suspicious.

San also invited me to eat with them once, and his friends glared at me for the whole time. I tried to not be fazed by it, but it wasn't easy. I understood why they didn't like me, but it was like they didn't even want to give me a chance. They were seeing me by the things people said about me, and not who I really was.

《Are you doing something tonight?》 asked San

《Probably not》 I answered

《You should hang out with us》 he said 《We'll be going to a club》

Jongho must have kicked him under the table, because San flinched and winched in pain, then glared at the boy who was sitting in front of him.

《Maybe it's not a good idea》 I said

《Come on, let's have fun for once》 he insisted

《I'll think about it》 I replied

I didn't want to go because I didn't like clubs in general, and also because I clearly felt like the rest of them didn't want me there. For the rest of the day I kept thinking about ways to reject the invitation, but I couldn't think of anything.

When I went back to my apartment that night, I thought I could relax, but then my phone rang.

《Hello?》

《I heard Ryan came back home a couple days ago》 my mom said

《Good evening to you too》 I mumbled, annoyed

《Ryan was here and you didn't tell him to come visit us?》

《He stayed for one night and left again for another trip》 I replied 《He didn't have the time》

《I feel like you don't want us to bond》 said my mom 《You are not putting any effort in your relationship with him, or in your relationship with us》

《You know I'm busy...》

《Your sister is doing amazing and she's busier than you》

《Look, mom, I have to go》

《Don't you dare hung-》

But I hung up before she finished the sentence and I sighed. I looked at the clock and noticed it was almost time for the boys to go to the club. I took my phone again and texted San that I was going too, and left my house again.

When I entered the place, I noticed it was already full of people and the music was too loud for my liking. I frowned, regretting my choice. I noticed the boys sitting in a corner of the room, so I went to them.

《You made it》 said San, happy

《Yeah...》 I replied, not so excited

《Sit here》 he said, pointing at the seat between him and Wooyoung

I sat there and looked around. Seonghwa ordered drinks for everyone and the boys started drinking like their lives depended on it. I, on the other hand, only drank one drink.

《So...》 said Wooyoung, putting his arm around my shoulder 《Why did you come tonight?》

《San asked me to come》 I replied, obvious

Why was he asking? He was there when San asked me to tag along.

《And what are your intentions with him?》 he said
